![Cantonese Stir-Fry Sauce Recipe](https://eclecticepicurean.com/Pictures/Asian/Chicken%20in%20XO%20Sauce.jpg)
Store bought stir-fry sauces are often pretty good, especially the ones from popular restaurants. But they are usually expensive, and cooks can’t control the flavors . It’s very easy to make stir-fry sauces at home, and the upside is that they are cheap and last for months in the refrigerator. The following Cantonese Stir-Fry Sauce has a flavor similar to the marinade used in the popular red cha shu pork but the lack of red color makes it ideal for yummy stir-fried dishes, fried rice, and other Cantonese dishes. This one is easily put together, and calls for fairly easily obtainable ingredients.

I keep this yummy sauce on hand so that I can make a 15 minute Chinese dinner on weeknights or other times when I’m craving good Chinese food and don’t want to go pick up take-out. If you have a good Asian store near you, make sure you pick up oyster sauce, bean sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil so you can make this anytime.![””](https://eclecticepicurean.com/Pictures/Asian/Asian%20Ingredients.jpg )
